Chapter 360: Thousands of Miles to Help (I)

[The third update, there is another one]

Saleen had only heard of the pure-blooded tripolar war horses that could run more than sixty miles. But it could only last for two or three hours, and the war horse had to rest completely, and it couldn't move for ten or eight days. At a steady speed, that kind of thoroughbred horse can run forty miles, which is almost equivalent to the speed of an ordinary cavalry charge.

The skeleton war horse that Wingsskeleton had deliberately created was obviously beyond Saleen's knowledge of horses. This kind of war horse can catch up with the flying mage, and the speed runs down in a day without any change.

At a speed of eighty miles, the cavalry couldn't control it at all, and if there were no wings and skeletons to manipulate them, almost every one of these cavalry would have broken bones and tendons.

The Winged Skull showed his powerful advanced ability, and Saleen's contract did not control his development, and the eighth-level undead was already comparable to the Great Magister. Of course, this is related to Salin's strong spiritual power, he and Neris are both soul contracts, as long as Salin's spiritual power can reach the level of a ninth-level magician, the winged skeleton can also advance to the ninth-level.

However, this also requires the efforts of the Wing Skull itself, and Salin, as the master, cannot provide him with other help now.

Saleen himself is in good health. The two magicians were more powerful than him. Isabella and Elenor, both of whom are dual-cultivators of magic and martial arts, ran wildly all the way, and ran for ten hours on the first day before resting.

If you were another mage, you would have been paralyzed a long time ago, and even if you continue to bless yourself with magic, you can't last ten hours of running wild.

The two hundred warriors with Zesarin were the most tired, and during a break in the middle, the magician also cast a spell on everyone, and at night, everyone fell into a deep sleep, leaving only the winged skeletons and demons awake.

The winged skeleton was wearing the armor that Saleen had refined for him, and on the front of the helmet was a crystal mask, and the soul fire behind the mask was slowly beating, showing a strange silver color in the night.

Tracey looked at the winged skeleton and remembered Neris's warning, not to provoke the undead. He commanded the other three demons and carefully guarded the outside of Sarin's tent. The undead under the winged skeletons are responsible for the security of the entire camp.

The winged skeleton stood at the gate of the camp, and in his hand was a weapon more than four meters long.

The front end of this weapon is a circular axe blade with a diameter of more than one meter, and a giant axe with two sides open, showing a blood-red color. On both sides of the giant axe, there is a magic array. It is inlaid with multicolored magic cores, like six strange eyes.

The weapon was salvaged from the sea by a winged skeleton and is estimated to be at least 20,000 years old. It is not that the older the weapon, the better, but a weapon that can withstand the corrosion and high pressure of the sea water for 20,000 years without any damage is definitely the best equipment.

The long rod of the giant axe is oval-shaped, full of magic patterns, but this magic pattern is not refined on the surface, but the magic pattern naturally refined inside the entire metal giant axe, no matter how polished, these magic patterns will not disappear.

The breath of the undead seeped out from the gloves of the winged skeleton and entered the giant axe, and the multicolored magic core embedded in the giant axe lit up, and the blood-red magic patterns flowed on the black giant axe.

The six jade skeletons that followed the Winged Skull stood behind the Winged Skull, each holding a giant axe of the same shape, which was a weapon that Saleen imitated and refined.

The Winged Skull and his men are so powerful that no one would dare to take such a giant axe. Even if it is a Silver Sword Master, you have to consider whether your strength can withstand it.

Seven skeletons stood at the gate of the camp, and the monsters foraging for food at night fled far away. Winged Skull's Great Axe. Six gray breaths floated, sucked into their giant axe by the jade skeletons behind them.

Seven skeletons, as one. Salin dared to take two hundred people to Daliang City, in addition to his own ability, but also because the Winged Skull was already an eighth-level undead, and its combat power was comparable to that of the original Three Kings. Judy Koko's soul fire was given to the Winged Skull, and as long as Saleen advanced, he would immediately rush to the ninth level.

The winged skeleton looked up at the bright moon, and the silver moonlight sprinkled down, through the crystal mask, into his eye sockets, and was absorbed by the two soul fires, and the soul fire absorbed the moonlight, becoming more and more intense.

The night passed undisturbed, and the camp was not disturbed. Salin continued on his way with the team. It was now the middle of September, and he had to reach Daliang City before the end of October, regardless of the road, but also whether he would encounter an enemy attack.

From Metatrin to the new city that Ani was overseeing, the journey was safe, and Salin turned south at the border of the Rhine, and marched along the border of Garolan towards the city of Great Liang.

It was impossible for the more than two hundred heavily armed men to go unnoticed, but Salin and the others did not walk along the lane, did not need supplies all the way, went around the town, and only ran wildly in the wilderness.

Those who have the intention to intercept will not be able to catch up with the footsteps of the skeleton war horse. More than two hundred skeleton horses, with Sarah's two hundred soldiers and mages, advanced at a speed of seven hundred miles a day.

Those who make up their minds on the official road have all miscalculated. Whether it was the scheming local nobles, the Holy Rock City army, or even some bands of thieves, they were left behind by Saleen's strange way of marching.

In mid-October, Salin and his 200-odd men entered the territory of Calulan, under the de facto control of the Bitterwater Prefecture of Rex.

On the border was a military town with five thousand soldiers stationed. Salin showed his badge, the highest governor of the town, but an old nobleman in the Bitter Water County. Seeing Saline's coat of arms, the old nobleman warmly received Saleen.

"Your Highness Salin, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon!" The old nobleman greeted Salin's team outside the town, and saw that Salin only had more than two hundred people, and he did not show a disappointed look.

Saleen secretly applauded that this was a wise, or rather cunning, old man. His town, bordering the area controlled by Holy Rock City, needed this kind of wisdom in order for the two sides to live in peace.

This old man was originally a first-class viscount, and he was also a nobleman arranged by Emperor Chanak to Rex, and after Rex established the country, he was promoted to a second-class earl, two levels in a row. Now commands 5,000 soldiers. The town is guarding here.

"Earl......" Salin was taken to the Earl's mansion, the Count set up a banquet, Salin opened his mouth, and the Count smiled and said: "Your Highness, you can call me Besta." I watched the county lord grow up, and I am not an outsider. ”

Salin smiled and said, "Besta, can you contact Daliang City here?"

"Yes, yes, but ......" Besta was a little embarrassed, the number of magic cores he had here was very limited. If you don't consume it, try not to use it, and if you send a letter once, you need to consume a magic core. This kind of low-level teleportation array also consumes six fourth-level demon cores each time.

Salin immediately understood the meaning of Besta's words, and said, "Although Rex will replenish your consumption, it will not be delivered until the end of the year." Okay, I'll pay for this money, you have to guard this town, don't be taken advantage of by the people from the north. Salin said, taking out a box specially containing magic cores, which contained sixty cut fourth-level magic cores, and handed them to Besta.

It is not easy for this old earl to be conscientious and conscientious to guard the border in such a place with little future. Salin didn't care about the sixty cores.

Besta blushed a little, Rex has indeed not issued magic cores for a long time, the last attack, three important cities were defeated, but the consumption of magic cores is also very huge. He still has a lot of low-level magic cores here, but there are indeed not many middle-level magic cores.

"Your Highness, how can this be?"

"Don't worry, Rex will give this back to me. Salin made a joke. Besta was also embarrassed, Salin could travel thousands of miles to help, how could he care about these sixty intermediate demon cores. Even if this thing is put on the market, it will cost more than 10,000 gold coins.

Instead of writing to Rex immediately, Salin asked Besta about the unnamed town's troop allocation.

After inquiry, I learned that these 5,000 soldiers, except for the more than 500 personal soldiers of Count Besta, were just novices who had been trained for two or three years. This kind of training is not the kind of training that Rex gave to Sarin's soldiers, but the simplest way of training according to the laws of Qin Yin.

Soldiers can manipulate most common weapons, combat effectiveness, five soldiers should be able to kill a junior swordsman.

Rex was on the border of the land under the control of Holy Rock City, and there were no elite soldiers arranged, and Saleen listened to him. Understood Rex's general situation. The soldiers controlled by Rex are definitely more than 500,000, but half of them are not very good at fighting.

It is enough to defend the city, and attacking the city or fighting in the field is basically the fate of being destroyed. In this case, there is no need for Salin to leave any equipment for Count Besta, his equipment is for the main army.

Then Salin wrote a letter for Besta to teleport to the Great Liang City. In the letter, he wrote about the equipment and materials he was carrying, and told Rex about his battle plan.

Many of his materials have not yet been spliced into equipment, and the magicians under Rex need to prepare the corresponding alchemy equipment. So Salin wrote to Rex when he was still more than a thousand miles away. He couldn't start preparing when he arrived in Daliang City.

Salin and the others hurried continuously, physically and mentally exhausted, and had to rest in this town for a day to completely recover their bodies before they went on the road.

Salin and the others went to sleep, and the Count of Besta was in the palace to deal with military affairs, when a soldier hurriedly came to report that a cavalry had approached the town, almost two thousand people. Count Besta was shocked, two thousand cavalry, that is the standard of a battalion, and it is likely that there will be two thousand heavy cavalry plus six thousand infantry.

The old earl did not alarm Salin, and said to his soldiers: "Call all the men, and I will go up to the city to have a look." ”

"Count, may I come with you?" Besta had barely finished speaking, and the winged skeleton appeared in front of him, already with the terrifying great axe in his hand. Under his crystal mask, the soul fire pulsed slowly.

The Winged Skull had been following Saleen, and when Besta saw him, he thought he was an ordinary undead, but he didn't expect that this undead had intelligence and could speak human language.
